The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 32 The person following
Mu Xiyue took out the crosstalk sketch she had written and showed it to the two girls, "Can you understand it?"
The two girls took it and looked at it together, "I understand it."
Mu Xiyue nodded. "That's good. When I'm not here, you two can explain it to everyone. Then let's divide our respective tasks first."
Mu Xiyue actually didn't quite understand any of this, she just explained it to everyone based on what she had seen on TV videos in her previous life and her own ideas.
At the Marquis Anyuan's Mansion, Mu Fengnian sent people to search the entire mansion. Apart from the lock of the warehouse, which could be seen to have been broken by some sharp weapon, there was no other trace.
Mu Fengnian was slumped in the chair in the study, emitting cold air all over. Liu Mei'er brought in some porridge and placed it in front of him.
"Master, I made this chicken porridge especially for you. Are we really not going to report it?"
Mu Fengnian sighed and stirred the food with a spoon. "I can't report it. The account book in the secret room here was also stolen. Even if I report it, it probably won't be found. What if we can really catch the thief and hand over the account book?"
Mu Fengnian didn't finish his words, but Liu Meir also understood the interests involved.
Liu Mei'er knew about the secret room in the study; she had even read the contents of the account book. Mu Fengnian hadn't hidden the amount of money inside from her. He had originally thought that not all eggs should be put in one basket, so he had divided some of the money and placed it in the secret room. He had no idea that the thieves had emptied several baskets.
This theft really emptied the mansion of everything. The money used for shopping today was the old lady's own money. The old lady was so angry about the theft in the mansion that she lay in bed and couldn't get up.
Mu Fengnian glanced at Liu Mei'er and said, "Go to the government office today to get the deeds for your shops and farmland renewed!"
Liu Meier nodded, "I understand, I'll do it later."
She felt dizzy at the thought of all the things in the warehouse being gone. Those were originally the dowry left for Yu'er. What would happen to Yu'er's dowry in the future without them? Although the Marquis' Mansion had many properties, there were many people in the mansion and the expenses were high, so not much money could be saved in a year.
Mu Xiyue didn't come out until evening. Thinking that the house deed she saw in Mu Fengnian's secret room last night was also in the west of the city, Mu Xiyue turned around and tried to find out where the house was.
When she went out in the morning, the person who was following her was still there. Mu Xiyue followed him as soon as she came out. She didn't know who was following her, so she thought about it and turned into a small alley.
The stalker was about twenty or thirty meters behind. When he walked into the alley, there was no one there. He ran quickly to the other end of the alley. As soon as he ran out of the alley, Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao were standing at the edge of the alley, looking at him and smiling.
"This young man has been following me since this morning. He's very patient. Can you tell me who you are?"
Mu Xiyue smiled, but there was a chill in her voice. The man's heart trembled. Knowing that he was exposed, he turned around and left without saying anything.
How could Mu Xiyue let him go? She winked at Xiaotao, who understood and raised her hand, wrapping the man up in a gust of wind and throwing him into the alley.
The man felt a chill down his spine. He had never thought that a little girl's internal strength was so strong. He only saw Miss Mu's maid raise her hand and her body was suddenly restrained. Then she fell into the alley as if she was thrown out.
What frightened him even more was that his body seemed to be tied up by invisible ropes and he could not move.
Xiaotao was very satisfied with her new skill, which she had just mastered in the past few days. She used the wind to continuously bind people.
Mu Xiyue slowly walked up to him, "Young man, can you tell me who you belong to now? I'm a very kind person. As long as you behave yourself, I will definitely let you go back. However, if you don't want to tell me, it's okay. There is a way of living called living a life worse than death. I don't know if you have heard of it."
The man gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, not wanting to look at Mu Xiyue. He didn't believe that he could be killed here.
Seeing that he was truly not afraid, Mu Xiyue smiled tenderly, and even her voice became gentler, "Xiao Tao, cripple his middle leg!"
The man opened his eyes suddenly. How could this woman say such vicious words in such a tone?
Xiao Tao didn't understand, "Miss, which leg is the one in the middle?"
Mu Xiyue glanced between the man's legs and said, "Of course it's his vitals."
Xiao Tao uttered an "oh" and retracted her bound powers. She said uncertainly, "Miss, this is my first time cutting, I'm afraid I didn't cut it right."
Mu Xiyue said nonchalantly, "It's okay. First time is new, second time is familiar. If you didn't cut it right the first time, just cut it a few more times."
The man panicked, but suddenly he felt that he could move. He rolled over, got up, and ran away. After running for a while, he realized that he had not used his Qinggong skills. Fortunately, the two crazy women did not chase him, but he still used his Qinggong skills to escape quickly.
Xiao Tao was shocked as she watched the fleeing figure. "Miss, this is what you mean when you say people have unlimited potential. He ran so fast. I thought you would at least break one of his legs."
Mu Xiyue chuckled, "Let's go, let's go over there. That person is just following us, it's not a matter of bloodshed. The trick you just showed is enough to warn the person behind us. If he continues to send people to follow us, we'll talk about it later."
The two of them followed the road and found Mu Fengnian's house in the west of the city. Although the house was said to be located in the west of the city, it was actually close to the north of the city. From the outside, the house did not look big, probably just a small courtyard with three entrances.
Mu Xiyue went around to the back of the house. There was a small courtyard at the back and a very small alley outside the courtyard.
Mu Xiyue looked inside through the crack of the small door in the backyard. There were some clothes hanging in the yard, some for women and some for boys. This was strange. Could it be that Mu Fengnian had a mistress?
Mu Xiyue didn't stay any longer after she had a clue in her mind. She made an appointment with Xiao Yibai to go horseback riding tomorrow. When she met Xiao Yibai, she asked him to help find out who lived in the house.
It was a bit far to walk back after taking a detour, so the two hired a carriage to return to the Marquis' Mansion.
It was just getting dark when they returned to the Marquis' Mansion. The house was silent and the servants walked in low voices. Mu Xiyue understood that the entire Marquis' Mansion had been emptied of its money in an instant, and Mu Fengnian would definitely be in a bad mood that day.
No, it's not like the entire Marquis's Mansion was emptied. Didn't she go to the old lady's courtyard? And Mu Fengnian's two concubines also had private vaults.
The Marquis' Mansion should have many industries outside, and as long as the money-making businesses are still there, the Marquis' Mansion will not be unable to make ends meet.
Thinking of this, the first thing Mu Xiyue did when she returned to the courtyard was to look for Chun Ya, "Did the kitchen deliver any ingredients today?"
Chun Ya nodded, "Yes, but not as much as before. There's only a small piece of meat, and the rest are vegetables. I've already prepared the meal. Miss, would you like to eat first?"
